About this title

Synopsis

Wisdom from the Monastery recounts visits of three seekers to monastic institutions. The first undertakes the ancient practice of monastic fasting, the second studies the tradition of monastic healing as embodied in the Rule of St. Benedict and the writings of Hildegard of Bingen, the third discovers the way to peace of mind through prayer, meditation and silence.

The goal of monastic life is not self-denial, but rather a more abundant life. The gentle guidance to be gleaned from the monastic path can help you make that a reality.
